“… and I saw every work of God, I concluded that man cannot discover the work which has been done under the sun. Even though man should seek laboriously, he will not discover; and though the wise man should say, ‘I know,’ he cannot discover.” Ecclesiastes 8:17

Man, in his arrogance, has many times said, ‘I KNOW,’ only to be proven wrong as time passes. There are mysteries that God has not revealed to man and that man is incapable of discovering. There are multitudes of mysteries in our universe that scientists and astronomers can only formulate fragile theories to explain. It is interesting that man has yet to visit a second heavenly body since landing on the moon. The moon is a great mystery itself. This is why we are now planning on returning.

God created the heavens and the earth and has chosen to leave man guessing about the absolute complexities that he sees. We are like school children trying to understand the ultimate complexities of life. Evolutionists are strapped by mysteries that often they have cheated in their attempt to explain how life came to be. If they would only turn to Genesis 1:1 they would understand how it got here and we would not have to spend all that money trying to find out what is obvious to the naked eye.

“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, BEING UNDERSTOOD THROUGH WHAT HAS BEEN MADE, so that they are without excuse. For even though they KNEW God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they BECAME FUTILE in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.” Romans 1:20-23

But how did man become so futile in his thinking?

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who SUPPRESS THE TRUTH in unrighteousness, because that which IS KNOWN about God is EVIDENT WITHIN THEM; FOR GOD MADE IT EVIDENT TO THEM.” Romans 1:18-19

You see, these last verses precede the first verses. Mankind is still suppressing the truth in unrighteousness in order to deceive man into rejecting God. Evolution is purely atheistic and they are like the blind trying to show the blind where to walk. If we listed the insane ideas of man in the name of evolution we would not have room on this blog. One is that a germ came to the earth on a meteorite and popped off and began life here. This was even the theme of one of the Battle Star Galactic a movies. One evolutionist suggested that man did not come from monkeys but that monkeys came from man. They are playing a dangerous guessing game and all the while they are trying to obscure what is right in their own hearts, that God exists and that everything in creation screams out that it was CREATED by God. The sheer complexities, the order and structure of everything tell us that this failed theory of evolution is bogus and should be abandoned. Multitudes of evolutionary scientists have bailed out in recent years saying that they could no longer deny the evidence. I have used actual quotes from them in much earlier blogs.

I predict that the next BIG theory will revert to space aliens, of higher intelligence, brought it all into existence. This too is sheer speculation and is filled with flaws. We have searched the local universe and have found NO life forms anywhere, but they are sure that they are out there. I seriously doubt that they will ever discover life anywhere but here on earth.

“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God.’ ” Psalm 14:1

Are you a fool or a wise person? The end will reveal which one you were. I pray that you will discover which before you die for then we will face this Creator. The choices we make in this life will determine our eternal home forever. There are two destinations: heaven and hell. They are not the figment of anyone’s imagination. Remember that God does not SEND anyone to hell, man chooses to go there because he or she refuses to accept God’s plan for their life. Heaven is available to every human being but the choice has to be made.

“… choose for yourselves today whom you will serve…” Joshua 24:15

Bob Dylan’s song said it all, “You’re gonna serve somebody. It may be the devil or it may be the Lord but you’re gonna serve somebody.”Choose wisely since your eternal future depends on it.

Jesus said, “… and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8:32

Yes, man cannot discover it all but he can discover what matters most.

Many Americans, and others around the world, are lying on their death beds today because they thought that they could have sex with anyone and everyone with no consequences. It is ironic that the wisest man in human history, second only to Jesus Himself, penned the consequences of sexual immorality thousands of years ago and it reads like reading today’s newspapers. Many do not want to equate AIDS with homosexual sex and other heterosexual illicit activities as well with such consequences but take a look at Solomon’s words and see how up to date his words are to us today.”My son, give attention to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding; that you may observe discretion and your lips may reserve knowledge. For the lips of an adulteress trip honey and smoother than oil is her speech; but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold of Sheol. She does not ponder the path of life; her ways are unstable, she does not know it. Now then, my sons, listen to me and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her and do not go near the door of her house, or you will give your vigor to others and your years to the cruel one; and strangers will be filled with your strength and your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien; and you groan at your final end, when your flesh and your body are consumed; and you say, ‘How I have hated instruction! And my heart spurned reproof! I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to my instructors! I was almost in utter ruin in the midst of the assembly and congregation.’�
Drink water from your own cistern and fresh water from your own well. Should your springs be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets? Let them be yours alone and not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. As a loving hind and a graceful doe, let her breasts (your wife’s that is) satisfy you at all times; be exhilarated always with her love. For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress and embrace the bosom of a foreigner? For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He watches all his paths. His own iniquities will capture the wicked, and he will be held with the cords of his sin. He will die for lack of instruction, and in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.” Proverbs 5:1-23

Most folks forget that God created sexual pleasure and established the marriage relationship for its ULTIMATE expression. Today, many have chosen to shack up or have ‘casual sex’ and many others have sought out homosexual relationships for sexual experimentation. Like anything, when we choose to use a good thing in an improper way it always brings trouble. We can choose to do as we please but we must be willing to face the consequences when we do.

I have seen firsthand the wasting away of human bodies because of AIDS. This disease is ravaging Africa and other nations that accept relaxed attitudes about sex without marriage. How many people today wish that they had listened to parents, pastors or friends about treating sex as a potential death sentence if misused? AIDS is not the only STD that will kill you today. Diseases that were treatable with penicillin in the 50’s and 60’s will now kill you! Herpes is a disease that will be with you the rest of your life and no amount of PROTECTION can guarantee that you will be safe. God warns the human race that if they choose to thumb their noses in His face that they will face horrific consequences. For those of you who today are still disease free, I urge you to heed the warnings from the preceding words of wisdom. If not you too will face a high risk of eventually facing excruciating death because you thought that you could do as you pleased and get away with it. You won’t! Just visit an AIDS ward or talk with a friend who is dying of one of the deadly STD’s of today.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7
